Reviewed! Light Years - Parking Lots EP
Light Years
Parking Lots EP
Paper + Plastick Records
Well, we’re over halfway through April, and you know what
that means – we’re mere weeks away the joyous embrace of summer and now is the
time to shore up your track for soaking in the sun’s rays. As we enter the
season of blaring pop-punk jams through your stereo’s speakers, there’s no
better time for Light Years to release the Parking
Lots EP. The new release is just what pop-punk should be – effectively
short (2 songs and 1 acoustic), and unapologetically straight to the point,
with the opening duo of “Parking Lots” and “Put Myself Together” showcasing
what fans can expect from Light Years’ forthcoming full length I Won’t Hold It Against You, due out
this summer, including rollicking waves of melodies created exuberant,
energetic vocals backed by charging, yet bouncy guitar work. And that’s without
even mentioning the EP’s anchor, an acoustic version of “Put Myself Together,”
a track that oozes an air of Say It Like
You Mean It-era the Starting Line. The Parking
Lots EP is a release that puts Light Years on the tips of pop-punkers
tongues, and a sly way to build anticipation for their impending full length.
Touché, boys, touché.
